Chapter 842 - 802: Old Ape’s Rout

Chapter 842: Chapter 802: Old Ape’s Rout

Netherworld Prison.

On a fragment of land floating on the surface of the sea, Long Di looked up at the "Heaven Forbidden" above the dome, his expression gloomy.

He was in a terribly bad mood.

The laws of heaven and earth in the Netherworld Prison, the spiritual energy, and the fortunes connected to Him were still raw and sluggish.

Pang Jian’s proactive departure hadn’t changed anything, He was still the abandoned one!

"Leader."

A dozen Netherworld Gods loyal to Him scattered in the void above the fragment, each with a complex look in their eyes.

Further away, Bai Zi, with her delicate body, stood atop a golden bee, her expression also cold.

The Netherworld Prison, along with the people of the Nether Tribe, had all suffered severe damage.

Many lands had exploded, some fragments had turned to rubble, much fortune had been lost, and the Netherworld Gods along with the powerful Nether Race warriors had suffered heavy losses in the war.

Yet, everyone knew that the war had not truly ended.

The Old Ape, famous in the Misty Sea World for his brutal slaughters, was not one to easily give up.

At this moment, He must be waiting for an opportunity in the Misty Sea outside the Nether Prison.

"Long Di, after Pang Jian’s departure, do you really think you can firmly grasp the authority of this world in your hands? If that Old Ape were to come now, what confidence do you have?"

After a long silence, Bai Zi couldn’t help but ask.

Long Di frowned, feeling out of place in this world, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness.

The heaven and earth spiritual energy, the fortunes, and the core principles of the Great Tao in Netherworld Prison had not, after Pang Jian’s departure, been handed over entirely into His control for Him to use at will.

He suddenly realized that whatever had happened, had happened.

The will of this world was shifting towards another, better option when it found one.

Even if that better option had left, it hadn’t changed anything.

"Forcefully altering the world’s will only leads Netherworld Prison towards irredeemable destruction!"

Bai Zi’s tone was somewhat fierce and harsh as she said, "Pang Jian, once out of Netherworld Prison and encountering that Old Ape, won’t be a match for him!"

"Pang Jian will die! You, and we, will all die together!"

"Long Di, your selfishness will kill our entire tribe!"

As the Realm God of this world, Bai Zi spoke without courtesy, not giving any face at all.

The Netherworld Gods who had survived the fight dared not make a sound, nor did they dare to look at Long Di’s face.

These Netherworld Gods bowed their heads, their expressions uncertain, thinking who knows what.

Thus, after a while.

"So, what are you suggesting?"

Long Di turned around and looked at Bai Zi calmly, asking, "Do you want me to leave Netherworld Prison and join forces with him to fight Yuan Yi, ensuring he doesn’t die at Yuan Yi’s hands?"

"I want you to personally ask him to come back to Netherworld Prison!" Bai Zi snapped.

All the Netherworld Gods, bowing their heads, suddenly looked up.

The disbelief was apparent on their faces; knowing Long Di’s temper, it felt almost more brutal than killing Long Di himself.

Who was Long Di?

The master of Netherworld Prison in this era, the leader of all the Netherworld Gods, the most arrogant and proud man in the Misty Sea!

Without Pang Jian stepping into Netherworld Prison, without Pang Jian winning the approval of the World Will of Netherworld Prison, with His supreme control over the underlying laws, heaven and earth spiritual energy, and vast fortunes, He might not be inferior to the Old Ape!

The reason He ended up this way, wasn’t it because after Pang Jian’s resurrection, he started contending with Him for control of this world?

Being such a proud person, who had his authority taken by Pang Jian, yet to ask Him to invite Pang Jian back, how cruel was that?

The Netherworld Gods had also previously thought that Long Di was selfish, feeling that He shouldn’t have contended with Pang Jian in Netherworld Prison when the tribe was in trouble.

Now, they felt a bit of melancholic sympathy for Him.

"Let me, let me ask him..." Long Di muttered despondently.

"Forgive my frankness, but your ruling position in Long Di is already a thing of the past. Without Pang Jian returning to Netherworld Prison, when that Old Ape breaks in again, none of us will be able to stop Him."

"Long Di, you can of course leave, you can escape from Netherworld Prison."

"But what about those loyal to you? Heaven Forbidden, the Sea of Souls, everything in this world, will fall into Yuan Yi’s hands once you leave!"

"Long Di, because of your selfishness, you will turn Netherworld Prison into another Demon Prison!"

Bai Zi’s words were heart-wrenching, and she concluded, "So! Not only do you need to ask him to come back, but you also need to do it fast!"

"If you’re too late, then everything will be too late!"

With that said.

Bai Zi, along with many powerfully skilled Netherworld Gods, saw through the Boundary Wall a large ancient bronze gate situated in the Misty Sea location where Pang Jian and Yuan Yi had disappeared.

The gate, blocking everything, also obstructed their view.

"That’s Yuan Yi’s Realm God Card!" Bai Zi suddenly screamed.

This scream, piercing like a knife into Long Di’s heart, forced the always haughty Netherworld God Leader to make an exceedingly difficult decision.

"Alright!"

"I will go and ask him to come back!"

"I hope he can really save the Nether Hell World and withstand that Old Ape!"

The Gathering Divine Platform soared high, turning into a dazzling stream of light, rushing towards the Boundary Wall.

Bai Zi hesitated for a moment, then together with Long Di, flew towards the part of the Misty Sea obscured by the Realm God Card.

He was extremely anxious.

He was well aware that inside the Nether Hell World, Long Di, He, and Pang Jian all had their combat abilities somewhat enhanced.

Pang Jian, favored by the Sea of Souls and Heaven Forbidden, had recently received the strongest augmentation of power, which even made the Old Ape feel pressured, hence the Old Ape’s deceptive retreat.

But the Old Ape in the Misty Sea was one of the most terrifying High Gods, just below the four Sovereigns!

He Motian, Fahua, Zimo, none of these High Gods could compare to the fierce Old Ape.

Bai Zi was very worried that after stepping out of the Netherworld Realm, Pang Jian would be brutally killed to blood and dregs by the Old Ape in the Misty Sea in a very short time.

He was afraid it would be too late, afraid that the Nether Hell World would eventually still fall, and all Netherworld Gods would perish.

"Swoosh!"

Above the Gathering Divine Platform, Long Di’s Divine Body, like a crystal, flew out, crossing the Boundary Wall to reach the Misty Sea.

Following him was Bai Zi, as a Realm God.

The two most powerful Netherworld Gods had just entered the Misty Sea when they saw the massive ancient bronze Realm God Card mysteriously shrinking and disappearing.

They also saw Yuan Yi, transformed into a scrawny old man, stepping on the Realm God Card and steering it into the distance.

Neither Bai Zi nor Long Di could help but see signs of deflation and panic in Yuan Yi’s retreating figure.

Bai Zi was startled, staring blankly at Pang Jian, and said, "He..."

The Primordial Spirit of Long Di remained silent, continuously watching Yuan Yi steering the Realm God Card away, then saw the massive Demon Race army scattering in a rout.

The rout spread rapidly, like a rampant poison.

The warriors of the Ghost Clan, Sea Clan, as well as those of the Heaven Clan and Flame Clan, suddenly came to their senses, realizing that this long-planned invasion war targeting the Nether Hell World was utterly defeated.

And it was defeated in a baffling manner.

"Pang Jian, did Yuan Yi...," Bai Zi reflexively licked her moist lips, saying, "Has he retreated? Did he really leave, or is he planning some other vile and toxic scheme?"

Knowing how terrifying the Old Ape was, Bai Zi had such doubts.

"It appears he has retreated."

Pang Jian looked up, only to see boundless grey fog obscuring everything.

Yet, he could feel from above the Misty Sea in the Star River, a pair of indifferent and merciless eyes coldly watching him and the gradually disappearing Old Ape.

The shriveled old man transformed from Yuan Yi still emitted strong light from his body, his form extremely bizarre.

What kind of Power of Light could terrify the Old Ape like that?

One of the four Sovereigns, God Luo!

Only He, and only the Power of Light from Him, could make such a fierce being as Yuan Yi not dare to fight to the bitter end and choose to hastily retreat instead.

"You’re not wrong, that Sovereign has intervened."

From deep within the black "Sky Curtain," symbolizing Luan Ji’s two names of the Great Demon God, came this voice: "You and I, we can only injure Yuan Yi grievously but cannot let him perish in the Misty Sea."

"God Luo, however, possesses such power, and He has always detested the Demon Gods of the Ancient Demon Clan."

"Furthermore, His Power of Light was released through you. On you, there are two hidden lines that became that Sovereign’s eyes."

The voice of Luan Ji gradually faded away.

The two names representing Him also gradually faded, implying that He was gathering His power.

"Now, no matter what the Old Ape plans to do, you should immediately return to the Nether Hell World!" Amidst her shock, Bai Zi still maintained her calm and rationality, aware of why They had come out.

"Only in the Nether Hell World will you have stronger methods and power to deal with the Old Ape!"

He still was unwilling to believe that Yuan Yi’s departure was due to knowing he was outmatched.

"Return to the Nether Hell World?" Pang Jian was surprised.

His meaningful gaze fell on Long Di, who had been silent since coming out, and said, "I am not a member of the Nether Tribe, nor did I grow up in the Nether Hell World. That world’s responsibility should not fall on me."

"Lord Long Di, when you invited me to the Nether Hell World, what originally were you planning to say?"

Pang Jian’s expression gradually turned stern.

He could forgo competing with Long Di for the authority of the Nether Hell World, but along his journey, he had heard too many things related to his mother and father.

The name Long Di, mentioned repeatedly by the Stone Eater and the Old Ape, needed to be addressed by him.

He had to verify through Long Di the cause of his mother’s death and the current situation of his father.

This was also his reason for insisting on entering the Nether Hell World!

"Let’s talk when we return to the Nether Hell World."

Long Di sighed with a loss of interest, and without waiting for Pang Jian’s agreement, He first passed through the Boundary Wall to return.

"Pang Jian, after you left, the Will of the Nether Hell World never returned to His hands again," Bai Zi pondered for a moment before saying, "The Nether Hell World won’t have anyone, nor will there be any powers, capable of holding you back."

Pang Jian indifferently said, "I don’t think there will be."

As soon as the words fell, without needing further persuasion from Bai Zi, he also flashed into the Netherworld Realm.
